I’m taking part in Nicole from Moments that Define Life’s Listable Life Linkup again! One of my blog resolutions this year was to show my readers a little bit more of me, and her linkups really push me to do that! So today you’re going to learn about 5 of my pet peeves. So hopefully you’re not offended and don’t throw hate mail my way. 
Ready? Here we go…
1. Unpolished toenails. Really ladies, it takes like 10 minutes of your time to paint them. So paint them. If your toes are going to be showing in your cute high heels, flip-flops, sandals, etc….then you need to make sure they look good. Because NO ONE wants to see nasty toes. And they make the shoe look a million times better. Which leads me to my next pet peeve….
2. Feet. I hate feet. They make me want to throw up. Especially when you have a whole lot of #1 going on. So please, make sure your dang feet look nice. Even if you’re a dude. My husband has nasty feet and you bet I’m making him get a pedicure the second I can convince him to get in that chair. NASTY. No one wants to see scaly soles and jagged toenails. NO ONE. And yes, I’m saying this as a nurse.
3. Poor grammar. Know the difference between it’s and its, you’re and your, there and their and they’re, whose and who’s. Know where to place a period. Know where to use a comma. Know how to properly form a sentence. (This doesn’t apply to blog world because when we blog, we are talking as we speak. Which is a very informal type of writing. So. I. Can. Use. A. Million. Periods. If. I. Want. But at least get your words write right).
4. When people text me, and then I go to call them because I’m driving or doing something where I can’t text and then they don’t answer the phone. I KNOW YOU’RE NEAR YOUR PHONE. YOU JUST TEXT ME. Â alsfhlashjdfkafha!!!!
5. When I take the extra 2+ seconds of my time to hold the door open for you, and then you don’t say thank you. Or don’t acknowledge me whatsoever. This is just a matter of manners. I feel it’s incredibly rude, and I’m sure you’d be pissed off if I let the door slam in your face. Therefore, thank me! Because I sure would say thank you to you!
Okay, do you hate me? Or maybe you agree with me? Do you hate poor grammar too? Or maybe you are like me and hate feet? OR, are you one of those people who don’t say thank you when someone holds a door open, and have a reason as to why you think it’s not necessary?
And for the record…..I will love you even with unpolished toenails.
Tomorrow I show you my $3 stool makeover, so stay tuned!
We could totally be friends IRL if you would accept naked toenails. Because, with the twins, I can’t keep up with painted, if I tried, they would most certainly looked jacked and you’d hate me. I promise I’ll answer when you call while driving.
HAHA, I’d still be friends! I just might avoid looking at your feet
I do NOT hate you… I might love you. I can’t stand unpainted toenails either and people who don’t say thank you for the held door DRIVE ME CRAZY! Once, when I was having a particularly bad day I made a real effort to hold the door for a guy (it was raining and he was carrying luggage). He breezed right past me like I wasn’t there, so I just said “You’re Welcome!” really loudly. He stared at me like I had two heads. RUDE! In include people who don’t give me a little wave when I let them go in traffic in that same category.
Please forgive the blog grammar.
Bad blog grammar is completely acceptable!
I totally do the loud “YOU’RE WELCOME” as well! And yes, the same with traffic! JUST WAVE THANK YOU! UGH, that doesn’t help my road rage!
I just had an all out conversation yesterday with my friend about unpolished toenails! It was 70-something degrees here yesterday and I wanted to wear open toes more than anything, but I couldn’t do it because my toes are a mess! Going to get a pedicure this weekend to fix that. I think regular toenails are just icky. Put some polish on those babies!
Haha I just got a pedi too! It’s something I rarely get because I just do them myself, but I should totally splurge on it more often!
My recent pet peeve is this: I joined an online book club via a blog (actually 2 bloggers co-host it). I’ve been a participant for the last 2 months. I receive emails telling me to “link-up” on a specific day and then the particular blogger doesn’t “host” anything on her blog to link to. Like literally on Sunday night, I received an email saying get ready to link-up tomorrow and then “tomorrow” gets here and she blogs about something non-book club related. I don’t get it?? I want to email them and say what the heck?? Or maybe offer to run the book club if they aren’t interested in making any effort. Extremely annoying!! Maybe I should just start my own book club with a proper link-up. Anyone interested?? Okay, I’m off my soap box now.
Feet don’t really bother me, but I do prefer women paint their toes if their toes ‘be showin’ lol And is our society faltering on manners? I think so. So sad that people can’t even say thank you to someone who holds open a door. I always say thank you, but sometimes it comes out more quietly than intended and I wonder if they heard me or not. I’ve been trying really hard to be louder with it though. (Cause I can’t do the ‘look you in the eyes gesture’) Happy 1st day of March!!!
PS…I do not hate you (but only if you don’t hate me with my punctuation….lol).
Hmmmm, maybe you should e-mail the blogger?? That’s strange! And frustrating, especially if you’re doing the reading! I think the no-manners thing is especially big up here in New England. We are known to be really rude! Which I hate, because I’m so not
BAHAHAHAHA! You sound like my blog soul mate!
Oh also…
I’m making my husband create those mason jar lights. He is an electrical engineer. hopefully his degree goes towards something useful!!!!!
Well hello there blog soul mate! Glad I’m not the only one
